harbouredpearl: “East Mecklenburg High School Band is commissioning a piece of music in memory of Blake Brockington. Blake Brockington graduated from East Mecklenburg High School in 2014. He was an integral part of the band and was drum major during his junior and senior years. After graduation, Blake continued to touch the lives of many East Meck students while he actively volunteered with band activities. He attended the University of North Carolina Charlotte as a music education major, with aspirations to become a band director and composer. Blake was a strong voice for those he felt often went unheard and was an exceptionally strong advocate for LGBT youth. While he excelled at so many things academically, musically, and athletically, he felt that he achieved so much when he was crowned as East Meck’s first transgender Homecoming King in January 2014. We would like Blake’s spirit to live on in music; something that can be appreciated by everyone and often goes unjudged, which is how he wished he could have lived.” Please donate/share if you can: gofundme.com/2uuxx2ws -- source link
